The two eye witnesses who gave chase to Minister Champika Ranawaka following his hit and run case yesterday, filed an affidavit at the Police Headquarters today (4) regarding the accident.
Speaking to the media shortly after, one witnesses said that the Minister had fled the scene after hitting the two injured victims. The witness – Gayashan – gave chase and cornered the Minister when he identified himself.
He further added that while the injured motorcyclists were being transported to the Colombo National Hospital (CNH) they chased after the fleeing Jeep and obstructing its path forced it to halt before demanding the driver’s NIC.
The driver of the vehicle had identified himself as Minister Champika Ranawaka.
Furthermore, the two witnesses told the media that the victim Sadim Sampath rode a 1000cc motorbike while they themselves were riding a 100 – 250 cc motorbike.

POLICE SHOULD NOW ARREST PATALI AND TAKE HIM TO COURTS.
THE POLICE, I BELIEVE, WILL BE SHIVERING IN THEIR BOOTS, TO TAKE MINISTERS TO COURTS. WILL IT HAPPEN ??
THIS IS HOW SERVILE THE POLICE FORCE IS TODAY. A PREVIOUS PRESIDENT SLAPPED AN IGP AT TEMPLE TREES. I SAW THIS INFO IN THE MEDIA.
THE INJURED SHOULD FILE ACTION FOR A COMPENSATION AND DAMAGES CLAIM. HOPE THEY WILL TAKE THE MINISTER TO COURTS FOR THIS.

Champika is another man who sold Sinhala people for personal gain. If this happened in Yapa Patuna he would have taken the injured to the nearest hospital
Police are frightened of the Head of the so called Independent Police Commission who is headed by another Indian sucker.
Champika went to a Western country and Singapore few months before the Presidential elections to give his oath and meet some of the Indian agents who managed the the last elections with Chandrika.
The head of the Police Commission went to the same Western country to give lectures after the Presidential election.
Our law enforcement institutions and people are directly handled by the Indian Empire.

Susantha,
Both driver and the minister are not English speakers.
The joke is minister was not even in the vehicle concerned, according to his press release.
Either minster must be a liar or the witnesses must be liars. Minister says they belong to “Blue Brigade”.
You said,
“THE INJURED SHOULD FILE ACTION FOR A COMPENSATION AND DAMAGES CLAIM. HOPE THEY WILL TAKE THE MINISTER TO COURTS FOR THIS.”
Did you look at the photos ? Looking at the damage to 4wD vehicle, motorcycle has hit it from the back, on the bumper. Insurance companies find the vehicle at the back always at fault. Not sure how back window glass is shattered.

Dham !! OK so let us assume that either of them spoke in Sinhala. How did the Driver introduce himself as the Minister ? Could it leave to many doubts ? There is another media version. The Driver said that this is the Ministers vehicle. THERE IS A LOT OF **COOKING UP GOING ON.**
Yes, anybody hitting from behind, is found to be the offender. There is no doubt about that. Weaving in and out of Lanes could have caused the impact. In that case, if proved, the Rider is entitled to compensation.
There is only one way that the back window glass can be shattered….at moment of impact at speed and momentum, the Rider would have got thrown forward onto the glass shattering it. ( MOMENTUM = MASS x VELOCITY )
